Projection: need to automatically qualify

Oral Roberts’ profile forces that projection because the resume offers only a handful of solid wins against lower-tier opponents such as Missouri Kansas City, Denver and Montana State plus a neutral victory over Kennesaw while its body of work is dominated by damaging losses away from home at high-major opponents like Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and TCU and poor results at midmajors including Belmont and Weber State, and a narrow defeat to Tulsa underscores inconsistency; those road setbacks and setbacks to conference rivals on the road at North Dakota State and South Dakota State leave little room for an at-large case, so the team’s only clear path to the field is to flip the script in the Summit League tournament by beating familiar foes such as North Dakota State and Missouri Kansas City on neutral floors.
